A 22-year-old Highlands Ranch man died Friday evening after falling into Seaman Reservoir, about 20 miles northwest of Fort Collins.

The unidentified man fell into the water while with a group of people that were cliff diving at the reservoir, north of Colorado Highway 14 and west of U.S. Highway 287, according to the Larimer County Sheriff's Office.

The man was reported missing after he fell, LCSO Sgt. Benjamin Hess said Friday evening at the scene of the death.

At about 7:20 p.m., LCSO was dispatched to the report of the missing man who fell in. His body was located about about two hours later, and the Larimer County Coroner's Office was called to the scene, Hess said.

The coroner's office will release the identity of the man as well as manner and cause of death at a later time. No other information was immediately available at midnight Friday.

Members of LCSO Emergency Services, Larimer County Dive Rescue Team, LCSO Patrol and Poudre Fire Authority responded to the scene. Poudre Valley Health and a Medical Center of the Rockies Air Link helicopter were also deployed.
